5 Symbols used to mark instructions Safety instructions in these operating instructions which must be observed to prevent risks to persons are marked with this danger symbol. Before using the high-pressure cleaner, be sure to also read the enclosed operating instructions and keep them within reach at all times. This indicates tips and instructions to simplify work and to ensure safe operation. This symbol is used to mark safety instructions that must be observed to prevent damage to the machine and its performance. 1 Important safety instructions For your own safety The high-pressure cleaner may only be used by persons instructed in its use and who have been expressly authorised to do so. Although extremely easy to operate, children should not be allowed to use the cleaner. General Use of the high-pressure cleaner is subject to the applicable local regulations. Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention regulations valid in the country of use, observe recognised regulations for safety and proper use. Do not use any unsafe work techniques. Transport Transport of the high-pressure cleaner is easy on its large wheels. For safe transport in and on vehicles we recommend to prevent the equipment from sliding and tilting by fixing it with belts. Transport (when tilted): do not tilt the machine on the front with the water connections. remove suction hose from the detergent tank and close tank filler with the cap provided with the machine. before putting the cleaner into operation: pay attention to allow the pump oil to run back into the pump housing. Check oil level, top up if necessary. For transport at temperatures around or below 0 C, anti-freeze should be drawn into the pump beforehand (see chapter 6). Before starting the cleaner If your 3-phase cleaner was supplied without a plug, have it fitted with a suitable 3-phase plug with earth conductor, by an electrician. Before use, check that the highpressure cleaner is safe and in proper condition. Regularly check whether the power cord is damaged or shows signs of ageing. Use the high-pressure cleaner only when the mains power lead is in a safe condition. (risk of electric shock if damaged!). Check the rated voltage of the high-pressure cleaner before connecting it to the mains power supply. Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply. We strongly recommend that the power supply to the high pressure cleaner be connected via a residual current circuit breaker. This device stops the supply of 2

6 electricity if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 ma for 30 ms or it has an earth tester circuit. Operate the cleaner only in an upright position! Please observe the regulations and provisions applicable in your country. Before putting the high-pressure cleaner into service, carry out a visual check of all the major components. High-pressure water jets can be dangerous if misused. The jet must not be directed at persons, animals, live electrical equipment or the cleaner itself. Wear appropriate protective clothing and eye protectors. Do not direct the jet towards yourself or towards other persons in order to clean clothes or footwear. During operation of the cleaner, recoil forces are produced at the spraying device and, when the spray lance is held at an angle, a torque is also created. The spraying device must therefore be held firmly in both hands. Do not use the cleaner when other people without protective clothing are in the working area. Check that cleaning will not result in dangerous substances (e.g. asbestos, oil) being washed off the object to be cleaned and harming the environment. Do not clean delicate parts made of rubber, fabric, etc. with the 0 jet. Keep some distance between high pressure nozzle and surface in order to prevent the surface from damage. Do not use the high-pressure hose for lifting loads. NOTE! The maximum permissible working pressure and temperature are printed on the highpressure hose. Do not continue to use the cleaner if the mains power lead or high-pressure hose is damaged. Ensure adequate air circulation. Do not cover the cleaner or operate it in inadequately ventilated rooms! Store the cleaner where it will not be exposed to frost! Never operate the cleaner without water. Even brief shortages of water result in severe damage to the pump seals. Water connection This high pressure washer is only allowed to be connected with the drinking water mains, when an appropriate backflow preventer has been installed, Type BA according to EN The backflow preventer can be ordered under number , , , The length of the hose between the backflow preventer and the high pressure washer must be at least 12 metres (min diameter 3/4 inch) to absorb possible pressure peaks. Operation by suction (for example from a rainwater vessel) is carried out without backflow preventer. Recommended suction set: As soon as water has flown through the BA valve, this water is not considered to be drinking water any more. Operation Unsuitable extension leads can represent a source of danger. Always unwind cord from the reels completely to prevent the power cord overheating. Plugs and connectors of mains power leads must be at least splash water-proof. When using an extension cord, check the minimum cross-sections of the cable: Cable length Cross section m <16 A <25 A up to 20 m ø1.5mm² ø2.5mm² 20 to 50 m ø2.5mm² ø4.0mm² Do not damage the mains power lead (e.g. by driving over it, pulling or crushing it). Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug only (do not pull or tug the power cord). Electrical equipment Never spray electrical equipment with water: danger for persons, risk of short-circuiting. The cleaner may only be connected to a correctly installed plug socket. Switching on the cleaner may cause voltage fluctuations. Voltage fluctuations should not occur if the impedance at the transfer point is less than 0.15Ω. If in doubt ask your local electricity supplier. Maintenance and repair Always remove the plug from the mains plug socket before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work on the cleaner. Carry out only the maintenance operations described in the operating instructions. Use only original Gerni spare parts. Do not make any technical modifications to the high-pressure cleaner. Ensure that the machine is regularly serviced by Authorised 3

7 Gerni dealers in accordance with the maintenace plan. Failure to do so will invalidate the warranty. High-pressure hoses, fittings and couplings are important for the safety of the cleaner. Use only high-pressure parts approved by the manufacturer! The mains power lead must not differ from the version specified by the manufacturer and may only be changed by an electrician. Please contact the Gerni service department or an authorised specialist work-shop for all other maintenance or repair work! Testing The cleaner conforms to the German Guidelines for Liquid Spray Jet Devices. The high-pressure cleaner must be subjected to a safety examination in accordance with the Accident Prevention Regulations for Working with Liquid Spray Jet Devices as required, but at least every 12 months, by an authorised inspector. After all repairs or modifications to electrical equipment, the protective conductor resistance, the insulation resistance and the leakage current must be measured. Furthermore, a visual inspection of the mains power lead, a voltage and current measurement and a function test must be carried out. Our after-sales service technicians are at your disposal as authorised inspectors. The complete Accident Prevention Regulations for Working with Liquid Spray Jet Devices are available from the Carl Heymanns Verlag KG, Luxemburger Strasse 449, Cologne or from the appropriate association of employers liability insurances. Unloader valve Unacceptably high pressure is fed back without residual pressure via a bypass line into the intake line of the pump when the safety device is tripped. The unloader valve is set and sealed at the factory and must not be adjusted. 2 Description 2.1 Purpose This high-pressure cleaner has been designed for professional use in: agriculture industry transport industry automotive cleaning municipal facilities cleaning trade construction industry food industry etc. Chapter 5 describes the use of the high-pressure cleaner for various cleaning jobs.

12 5 Applications and methods 5.1 Techniques Effi cient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few guidelines, combined with your own personal experience of specific cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. Here is some basic information about cleaning Soaking Encrusted or thick layers of dirt can be loosened or softened up by a period of soaking. This is for example an ideal method within agriculture for example, within pig sties. The ideal soaking method can be achieved via use of foam or simple alkaline detergent. Let the product lie on the dirty surfaces for around 30 minutes before pressure washing. The result will be a much quicker high pressure cleaning process Detergent and Foam Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order to avoid super clean areas, where the detergent collects in higher concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for several minutes before rinsing before rinsing but never let it dry on the surface being cleaned Temperature Detergents are more effective at higher temperatures. Greases, oils and fats can be broken down more easily at higher temperatures also. Proteins can be cleaned at temperatures of around 60 C. Oils, traffic film around 70 C, and grease can be cleaned at 80 C - 90 C Mechanical Effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical effect may be required. Special lances and rotary or wash brushes offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt High Water Flow or High Pressure High pressure is not always the best solution and high pressure may damage surfaces. The cleaning effect also depends upon water flow. Pressure levels of around 100 bar may be sufficient for vehicle cleaning (in association with hot water). Higher flow levels give the possibility to rinse and flush away large amounts of dirt easily. 9

13 5.2 Some typical cleaning tasks Agriculture Task Accessories Method Stables Pig Pens, Sties Cleaning of walls, floors and equipment Disinfectant Machinery Tractors ploughs etc. Chemical Foam Injectors Foam lance Powerspeed lance Floor Cleaner Detergents Universal Alkafoam Disinfectant DES 3000 Detergent injection Powerspeed lances Curved lances and underchassis washers Brushes 1. Soaking apply foam to all surfaces (bottom to top) and wait for approx. 30 minutes. 2. Remove the dirt from surfaces with the high pressure lance or chosen accessory. Again, clean from bottom to top on vertical surfaces. 3. To flush away large quantities of dirt, change to low pressure mode and use the higher flow to push away the dirt. 4. Use recommended disinfectant products and methods to ensure hygiene. Apply DES 3000 disinfectant once the surfaces are perfectly clean. 1. Apply detergent to vehicle or equipment surfaces in order to soften up dirt and grime. Apply from bottom to top. 2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure lance. Clean again from bottom to top. Use accessories to clean in difficult to reach places. 3. Clean fragile areas such as motors, rubber at lower pressure levels to avoid damage Vehicle Task Accessories Method Vehicle bodywork Standard lance Detergent injection Curved lances and underchassis washers brushes Detergents Aktive Shampoo Aktive Foam Sapphire Super Plus Aktive Wax Allosil RimTop 1. Apply detergent to vehicle or equipment surfaces in order to soften up dirt and grime. Apply from bottom to top. In cases of particularly dirty vehicles, pre-spray with a product such as Allosil in order to remove traces of insects etc, then rinse at low pressure and apply normal car cleaning detergent. Let detergents settle for 5 minutes before cleaning off. Metallic surfaces can be cleaned using RimTop. 2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure lance. Clean again from bottom to top. Use accessories to clean in difficult to reach places. Use brushes in order to add a mechanical cleaning effect. Short lances can help for cleaning of motors and wheel arches. Curved lances or undercarriage washers can be valuable for the cleaning of car underchassis and wheel arches. 3. Clean fragile areas such as motors, rubber at lower pressure levels to avoid damage. 4. Apply a liquid wax using the pressure washer in order to protect the bodywork from pollution. 10

14 5.2.3 Buildings and Equipment Task Accessories Method General surfaces Metallic equipment Foam injectors Standard lance Curved lances Tank cleaning head Rusted or damages surfaces prior to treatment Detergents Intensive J25 Multi Combi Aktive Alkafoam Disinfectant DES 3000 Wet Sandblasting equipment 1. Apply thick foam over the surfaces to be cleaned. Apply on dry surfaces. Apply from top to bottom on vertical surfaces. Let the foam act for up to 30 minutes for the optimal effect. 2. Proceed with cleaning using the high pressure lance. Use applicable accessories. Use high pressure to dislodge large amounts of incrusted dirt or grime. Use lower pressure and high water volume in order to rapidly flush away loose dirt and rinse surfaces. 3. Apply DES 3000 disinfectant once the surfaces are perfectly clean. Areas covered by amounts of loose dirt, such as animal remains in slaughterhouses, can be removed by using high water flow to flush away the dirt to evacuation pits or drains. Tank cleaning heads can be used to clean barrels, vats, mixing tanks etc. Cleaning heads may be hydraulically or electrically powered and give the possibility for automatic cleaning without a constant user. 1. Connect the sandblasting lance to the pressure washer and place the suction tube in the sand. 2. Always wear protective equipment during sandblasting. 3. Spray the surfaces to be treated with the mix of water and sand. Rust, paint etc will be stripped off. These are merely several examples of cleaning tasks that can be solved by a pressure washer in association with accessories and detergents. Each cleaning task is different. Please consult your local dealer or Gerni representative in order to discuss the best solution for your own cleaning tasks. 6 After using the cleaner 6.1 Switching off the cleaner O I 1.
